Self-spotting is very wide opportunity, impossible to oversee all variants by limited imagination of this Competition organizers, so a broad definition has been chosen like this: Any spot on DX-Cluster can count for this Competition, excluding spots that would comply to this old original DX-C idea: “I hear station X with my transceiver on frequency Y, I think this station could be of interest to other hams in my area”.

The estimation is, that there are not so many self-spotters, very subjective view at the LYAC LOGs from last years suggest, that only some 2-3% of participants are eligible for placing them in self-spotters category. But we should not underestimate the impact on new hams, veteran’s example may be signicifant factor to some young souls to enter the self-spotters competition.

Participants using other call-signs (your second call, friend’s, xyl, club etc.) to self-spot, are given double points.

There is no band multiplier, self-spot on 144MHz is equal to self-spot on 10 GHz.

There will not be official awards or prizes, but the winners are free to make their own awards or even T-shirts, pronouncing “I have self-spotted the most”, “Self-spotter of the world”, “Self-spotter hall of shame” etc.

In the shown below self-spotters LOG, there may be duplicate contacts, we welcome volunteers to make better overlook at the self-spotting world.

Also there may be large number of missed scores, the organizers are open to corrected results.

We feel sorry for 98% other participants of European tuesday V/U/SHF activity, who have no chance to be famous in this list, but in the end we hope that you will compensate it with the feeling of personal integrity and ham spirit.

Finally, we do not promise to update this competition results, it will depend on the activity during next months.
